I used to live in the area as a student at farnborough tech in the late 90s and had a some fun nights at the Tumbledown. This was the only place at the time which provided good entertainment like live bands etc, which was hard to find in farnborough. It should not be closed down to make way for the new redevelopment, as it has been part of the town center for many years. The town has lost so many things which gave it a sense of character and uniqueness, that to lose the tumbledown would be another nail in the coffin to the community.

Apart from the airshow, the Tumbly is really one of the only things that Farnborough has going for it. To lose it would be bad juju for the place. It not only has to reopen but stay as it was rather than turn into some bland pub.

There is no place like it in Farnborough or any of the surrounding areas. To get rid of it would be a disaster, and make a lot of people very angry. Any attempts to re-make this into a family restaurant would go down like a Led Zeppelin and people won't stand for it.
